Buick News: Rumorpile: Buick Envision Coming To U.S. In 2015
daves87rs replied to William Maley's topic in Buick
You guys are forgetting something here....GM needs to build these nameplates up first.....you can't just keep throwing new models out new members for the family without taken are of those there already there. Don't want the kids to fight, do ya? ;-) Buick did a great thing with the Regal....the GS. Balls sporty from the past. Needs to rub that to the other other two. Keep the lux, but make them faster with a nod to the past. Encore was a good into into the buick brand. Priced right as well. Could get me into a buick! That other one, short of the nose, gets lost with those other large SUVs. What I want to know is where is this middle buick going to go? This can't be old school GM....can't have a model for every brand just because. They already failed with that. Each model has to have a true purpose.... Maybe get rid rid of the enclave? Make this new model top SUV, and that could work...... Accord, CRV...Camry....you know these right away. Impy? Malibu? yep! Buick needs to make these nameplates a household names.......the regal is a good start! I'll stop my rambling now..... -

NO. The image was fine for the first part of the decade. But unfortunately.. by the time Bush and Cheney drained our coffers in late '07... we were living in a country of whiners and politically correct flag waivers. The H2 was the epitome of IN YOUR EFFIN FACE I NOT ONLY HAVE MOBEY TO BUY THIS TRUCK.. I GOT MONEY TO LITERALLY BURN (in the gas tank)!!! Some one driving a sissy ass Corolla just couldn't deal with it. And GM did nothing about it.....I liked the H3 and the truck.....could have been so more.....seen a few of those "jeepin'" off road...... -

Very different buyers. I agree that the Terrain needs to butch up more, but at the same time, Buick needs something between the Encore and Enclave. A little bit bigger than the Lincoln MKC would be just about perfect and would drive a gigantic nail into the sidewalls of the Lexus RX. It would also serve to continue Buick's march upwards in status. A shakeup of the current line up would help first....short of the Regal and Encore, the rest of the line up could use some ID'ing...... -

Now if Hummer would have been more Jeep like, I think it would have had a chance....could have given Jeep a run for it's money. Instead it became an image machine for people, which GM did not bother to fight...... -

This Buick should not be a GMC.. the GMC should be a refreshed version of this looking like this on the Canyon platform like it's predecessor. So it can fail like hummer? Nah....not many people are looking for that. Build Something more jeep like. Better to offer upgrades to the current products..... -

While you do make a good point, GM needs to go with what is best for each brand, not just more "space fillers" just because they need it. And they need to make sure the current product is up snuff as well. If you have to push other stuff back to update stuff (think trucks and small cars for example), then you have too much product. Chevy get get away with a little extra product, because it is the bread and butter brand.... Keep in mind we have not forgotten the gas prices...while some may jump on a truck (or CUV), they still might think twice. Plus, with the ELR here, I think they are good at the moment. In honestly, this "buick" might have a better chance as a GMC.... -
Not that bad....if you can get it cheap!

daves87rs replied to William Maley's topic in Cadillac
Hello! Price is the main issue here. Sorry to say, as good as the CTS is, the 3 series is still different people/mindset. It's going to take a while to change that mindset... Go back to your roots. Drop the price, be the best bang for buck. It really is that simple.....- 35 replies
